The last grand prize was won by the Japanese movie "The Devourer"; when Oliver Stone handed over the trophy for Best Picture to the director of "The Devourer" Yojiro Takita, the third Asian Film Academy Awards also came to an end.

The domestic media were a little surprised by this result. Many people thought that "Tangshan Earthquake" won the best director, and had already won the best film. Unexpectedly, "The Devourer" would be upset at the last moment. However, this is also a media reporter who has never watched "The Devourer". Anyone who has watched it is unexpected. "The Devourer" has many new things in the film techniques. It is a breakthrough for disaster films, and it is not surprising that they won the Best Director Award; and the overall movie of "The Devourer" is more balanced and calm, so it is natural to win the Best Film.

Like all film awards ceremony, there are also celebrations after the Asian Film Academy Awards.

As the dean of the Asian Film Academy, Zhang Ran is naturally very popular. Many people came to say hello to him. Even Li An came over with Tang Wei, the heroine of "Lust and Caution".

After saying hello to Zhang Ran, Tang Wei left politely; while Li An pulled Zhang Ran aside and started chatting: "Director Xie Jin entrusts you with Chinese films, and from then on you will be the new flagship of Chinese films!"

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Director Xie Jin just praised me casually, don't joke about me!"

Li An said seriously: "Now many people think that martial arts films and art films are traditional Chinese films. In fact, the real traditional Chinese films are popular dramas, metaphors, and emotions come from the scene. It was Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang and his generation brought from the mainland to Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as mainland director Xie Jin and previous films that are connected with them. The fifth and sixth generation directors studied in Europe. They started out against Chinese traditional films, which are separated from the tradition of Chinese films. You are trying to get back the tradition of Chinese films, and you are continuing with director Xie Jin and the tradition of Chinese films. Therefore, it is not surprising that director Xie Jin has entrusted Chinese films to you at all!"

"The movies you make are all popular dramas. If you want to inherit the tradition, you do better than me!" Zhang Ran sighed, "But to be honest, it is easy to throw away some things, but once they are lost, it is difficult to get them back, and it may take several generations of efforts!"

"Yes, some things cannot be thrown away, nor should they be thrown away!" Li An asked with a smile, "How is your new film preparation?"

Zhang Ran replied easily: "I haven't filmed for nearly two years, so I'm almost suffocating. Next, I'm going to make a big shot. Now I have two dramas that are advancing at the same time, one drama and the other science fiction film. The preparation period of science fiction film is relatively long, and it will be the next year. The drama is relatively simple and can be started at the beginning of next year. What are you busy with recently?"

"You are so energetic to advance two movies at the same time!" Li An said with admiration, "I was filming "Making Woodstock Music Festival" recently, a comedy movie about music."

Li An is a very interesting director. After filming the family trilogy, he often made movies with one excellent work and one bad movie. After filming the masterpiece "Lust and Caution", it was naturally the bad movie "Making Woodstock Music Festival" that made it. Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to shoot the Woodstock Music Festival. This is a pure American story. It's really surprising, but when you come and shoot, you will definitely shoot something different from that of the American director. I'm looking forward to this movie."

Li An smiled and said, "It's too hard to film "Lust and Caution", so I plan to film a relatively relaxed story. I have filmed six tragedies in the past, and this time I want to film a comedy. It's not easy for me to film comedy. It took me thirty years to confirm that I can do this, relax and be a happy person. What type of drama is yours and how is the preparations?"

Zhang Ran said: "It's a crime movie. I want to make a black-like movie this time. I haven't filmed it before, I want to try it. I'm still doing preparations. It's about to choose an actor by December, and it's probably going to start filming in March next year."

Li An coughed gently and said, "I haven't selected an actor yet. You can try Tang Wei. She is pretty good." Seeing Zhang Ran looking at him with a little surprise, Li An smiled awkwardly and said, "I used to use actors as consumables, and I just used them after using them. But this time the situation is special. Tang Wei sacrificed a lot in "Lust and Caution" and now the situation is relatively bad. I think I should do something for her and don't want her to become a sacrifice for "Lust and Caution". I am a pure director and have limited abilities. I want to help her but can't find any good solutions. I can only ask you friends."

Zhang Ran was so angry that when she heard Li An ask her to help Tang Wei, she was so angry that Tang Wei was a very silly actor who had no talent or aura. There was no reason why she didn't pass the Central Academy of Drama Performance Department for three years. The biggest problem with Tang Wei's acting is that she must make the movie scenes very realistic in acting before she can get into the show, and she must really break the scenes around her. She must really take the children with a shoulder pole, and she must really throw her into the sea when she jumps into the sea. Only in this way can she feel that it is real and she can get into the show.

Tang Wei is also self-aware of her performance method. She said, I really feel that I don’t have any acting skills. I can act what I feel, but I can’t act. I don’t have skills or shortcuts. I can only walk into the inner world of the characters and feel her joy.

Because of this, when filming "Lust and Caution", Li An was almost driven crazy by her and could not perform anyway. In the end, she could only come to the real world. For this reason, Li An collapsed and cried on the set. Finally, with the help of her friends, Li An went to Sweden to meet her idol Bergman, and only opened her heart with the guidance of Bergman.

Tang Wei's acting style is too fatal to the actors!

Zhang Ran looked at Tang Wei who was talking to someone not far away and shook his head gently: "She can't play the role in my play. The heroine is a barber shop clerk, and she is a mute. She has very high requirements for the actor's ability. It will be more difficult for Tang Wei to act. But if you say hello, I will definitely pay attention. If our company has a suitable role, it will definitely be used." He looked at Li Yan and said, "I heard that Jiang Ziqiang is planning to arrange for her to study drama in the UK?"

Li An nodded and said, "Yes, Jiang Ziqiang plans to send her to the UK to study drama. One is that Tang Wei feels that his acting skills are not enough and needs to be studied; the other is that the government has banned her, so she can avoid the limelight by asking her to study outside!"

Now the above requested a cold treatment for Tang Wei, and her advertisements were withdrawn. At the Asian Film Academy Awards, she won the Best Actress nomination, and the movie channel did not give her any shots when it was broadcast. It is correct to say that the ban is not a ban in the absolute sense. Her news can be reported from time to time.

I’m sending soup to the UK to avoid the limelight, and gold plating is indeed a good choice!

But sending Tang Wei to the UK to study for performances is really a mistaken temple!

Zhang Ran couldn't help but say: "If you learn to perform, you should not send her to the UK, but to the actor studio in New York!"

Li An was stunned: "Why?"

Zhang Ran explained: "I went to the UK to study drama training in the Sharabata system. The training of this system is a bit similar to that of Peking Opera. Actors have special rhythms and syllables for reading lines. There are rules for how to deal with lines. It will take a while to master this rule alone. Similar to Peking Opera, Sharabata training does not accumulate for a long time and is ineffective. Moreover, Sharabata training cannot help people open their hearts. Tang Wei is completely useless in receiving Sharabata training training. The New York Actor Studio was founded by Strasberg. What they are best at is emotional memory and emotional substitution. There are many ways to discover the inner hearts of the actors. Accepting their training can allow Tang Wei to learn to discover emotions similar to the characters from his own memory and then find the state of the characters. It is the most suitable for Tang Wei!"

Li An nodded slowly: "You are right. She should go to the actors' studio for training. But you can see the actors so accurately that you can see the crux of Tang Wei at once!"

Zhang Ran chuckled and said, "I am a genuine performance teacher. I can't even see this problem. Then I should find a piece of tofu to kill you!"

While Li An and Zhang Ran were having a lot of laughter, Tang Wei was also watching the movement here. She knew that Li An was recommending her to Zhang Ran. So far, Li An had recommended her to Zhang Yimou and Jiang Ziqiang, and Zhang Ran's influence in the film industry was greater than their combined. If she could get Zhang Ran's help, she would be much easier to get involved in China.

Tang Wei saw Zhang Jingchu not far away, and was surrounded by people at this moment, and was the target of everyone's pursuit. Just like the queen, she was extremely envious. Her senior sister was not particularly good-looking, but she became Zhang Ran's girlfriend. She was really lucky! If she had such a boyfriend, her acting career would not have been so difficult.

The next morning, Zhang Ran was unsurprisingly occupied the headlines of major domestic media's entertainment pages. What the media talked about the most was not the ownership of the awards, but the inheritance between him and director Xie Jin!

Xie Jin asked Zhang Ran to be the one who was alone, and Chinese movies have a new flag bearer! Peking Daily

Zhang Ran took over Xie Jin and Chinese films completed a heritage! Wenhui News

The seventh generation of directors with Zhang Ran as the flag bearer took over completely, and Chinese films entered a new era of Beijing Times

The sixth generation was cultivated by the film festival, while the seventh generation led by Zhang Ran was cultivated by the Chinese film market. It is their biggest feature that is not narcissistic, uncompromising, and finding a balance between individuals and markets, which is also the guarantee passed down from generation to generation by Chinese film directors. West China Metropolis Daily

Even the People's Daily published an article titled "Inheritance and Return of Chinese Films", which read: "In the 1980s, the critics once criticized Xie Jin's films very fiercely, not only accusing Xie Jin's films of kitsch, but also criticized Xie Jin's films for being too sleek in aesthetics, so asserting that the Xie Jin era should end.

The criticism of Xie Jin's model has cleared the way for the appearance of fifth-generation directors such as Zhang Yimou in theory and concept. A few months after criticizing Xie Jin, at the premiere of "King of Children", Chen Kaige happily said to Zhu Dake, "Your knife stabbed the lungs of Chinese movies." This knife indeed stabbed the leaf of Chinese movies, and also stabbed the Chinese movies half to death.

The fifth generation and later the sixth generation of directors made important contributions to the modernization of Chinese films in order to innovate the language of Chinese films. However, at the same time, they took the stage in an anti-traditional film attitude, splitting the tradition of Chinese films and causing Chinese films to become increasingly disconnected from the audience.

Director Xie Jin entrusts Chinese films to Zhang Ran because Zhang Ran is working hard to regain the tradition of Chinese film storytelling. This is a return to the tradition of Chinese films!”

Under the strong publicity of the media, Zhang Ran was completely pushed to the position of Chinese film flag bearer and became the number one Chinese director.

Just as the media were applauding and shouting for the rise of the seventh generation, the annual Forbes China Rich List was officially released. After the list was released, it immediately caused a sensation in China because Zhang Ran defeated all his opponents and became the new richest man in China!
